I am not a subscriber to the «great Man'theory of history, I favour the idea that the pressures of
human desire, experience and history culminate occasionally in one individual whose socio - historical importance is inevitably (
as humans) defined through the base circumstances of their physical and temporal existence (i.e. the
thing we think first about Einstein is the
hair and the tongue, right?).
I picture the following cartoon: a goofy looking
human in a bath towel running a dozen
hair dryers in each hand, and then zooming out to bring all of their neighbors into view doing exactly the same
thing, then panning over to show a busy city sidewalk packed with people rushing to work with a briefcase and a dozen running
hair dryers in each hand (either with arms at their sides, or perhaps even up above their heads continuing to dry their
hair as they walk, briefcases dangling in the air), and then zooming out again to show the same scene carried out on every city sidewalk.
